Simplifying is something that needs to be done, but security must, also, be maintained. Agreed. And the current process takes care of security (which it should), but imposes mountains of paperwork unrelated to security. An example of good security practise : When one applies for a Green Card, one is fingerprinted (10 fingers + 2 palms), that go into FBI records. When one later applies for naturalization, one is fingerprinted the same way again : objective is to validate that the naturalization applicant is the same as the Green Card holder. No complaints on this at all - it is necessary. What is not necessary is the legal mumbo-jumbo and paperwork that is part of an application for a Green Card, in the context of a work visa holder progressing towards being a citizen.
